Gon-te Greene

The Syracuse Post Standard is reporting that Syracuse freshman Donte Greene is interviewing prospective agents and is expected to sign with Blue Equity - which to my warped mind sounds more like a porn company than a "a unified full-service management and production company."

While it has basically been a foregone conclusion that Greene was committed to the NBA, most Syracuse fans held out a glimmer of hope he wouldn't sign with an agent and preserve his eligibility.

Greene certainly has all the tools to be a very good NBA player - and based on his size, ability to shoot the ball and the fact that he's 20 years old, he'll get drafted based on potential alone. While another year of college certainly would have improved his stock, you can't fault a kid for trying to make a buck, especially one who hails from tough economic circumstances. He will be given a chance - whether he gets stronger, works hard to improve his overall game and becomes a good pro is completely up to him.
